! Destruction
!!! Burn your enemies alive with burst fire damage!
This spec should be the best for DPS in the Destruction spec and it offers a few mana regeration and survivability options as well. With the Prime Glyphs there is much speculation on which ones to use, I chose the 3 with the biggest impact on your DPS. There are no beneficial DPS glyphs in Major or Minor for Destruction Locks.

Note that this build adds Corruption to our rotation. With the 8% buff to shadow damage, this will be a nice DPS boost for us.
!!! Stat Priority
For Destruction Locks, after hit of course, haste is your top stat. Crit is a very close second and at higher gear levels, crit slightly passes haste. Mastery is third.
Casting Priority :
* Curse of Elements
* Bane of Doom if > 1 min, Bane of Agony if < 1min
* Soul Burn: Soul Fire for the damage buff
* Chaos Bolt
* Immolate
* Conflagrate
* Corruption
* Incinerate
* Shadowflame
* Fel Flame
Note that even with the change to Improved Soul Fire, it is still a buff we want to keep up as much as possible. 8% damage adds up very quickly.
For Boss fights you can add Summon Doomguard and Death Coil for a little extra DPS.
You want to keep Immolate up at all times (Don't forget that Fel Flame refreshes your Immolate, so if you're in a movement heavy fight (like the air phase of Atramedes, use this to keep Immolate up. This also allows you to keep casting Conflagrate while running around). Keep Conflagrate and Chaos Bolt on cooldown. Incinerate will be your filler spell. The only time you want to cast Fel Flame is if you are moving.
The Imp will provide the best DPS and make sure you watch for Soul Fire procs, these will be a huge benefit to your DPS.
